I think HN should embrace AI to the point of having an alternative AI-generated title next to the original title, to reduce clickbait and reduce the global rage index.

I've been thinking about building a browser extension that turns clickbait headlines into factual titles. "Why is SendGrid emailing me about supporting ICE?" becomes "Phishing Campaign Targets SendGrid Users via Compromised Accounts and Politically Charged Bait" I think it would be more time than I'd like to commit though.

I like this idea. Also a split-window view that uses AI to fact-check and de-bias content, or at least point out bias. Perhaps color coded.

I've been pleasantly surprised how well AI does describing bias, no matter the bias, which gives me hope.

Yeah it's the latter. The US does not have party membership the way that, say, the UK does. In many states, it's open primary. In Colorado, for instance, I get mailed Democratic and Republican primary ballots and can vote by mailing in either one. I think you get neither counted if you mail in both, but I have no idea; I've never tried it. The last time anyone tried to poison a presidential election by promoting a we…

For an alternate example, in Illinois you choose one at primary election time and only get that one. This year the options are Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, and Non-Partisan (which means only the referendums, not the elections).

How long before the election do you have to choose? In NY for instance it's months in advance that you have to register with the state party to vote in the primary.
